Hello/Czesc,

I want to write a program for pocketPC which will play short .wav
files - it will be a dialer for a touch tone phones.
The plan is to put PDA on a phone microphone and PDA will play a
dialing tone. I am very rusty with VB so please help me:
lets say for each phone number I have recorder .wav clip - how to play
this clip on PDA?

Thanks,

Zalek

Check the windows directory for an exe file named sndplay.

If you "associate" this file with .wav files (instead of wmp) you can
then create shortcuts to the wav files to play them with a single tap
plus you can simply tap wav files to play them.

fwiw, sndplay is a much more efficient way to play wav files.

Finally, you may be able to use either tel: or dtmf: to play dtmf
strings to your phone (varies with the os) ...tel: dials a number,
dtmf: issues dtmf tones during a connected call. i.e.;

tel:1234567

dtmf:7654321
